URBNSURF

Overview

URBNSURF Melbourne is one of Australia’s most ambitious and distinctive developments, the country’s first urban surfing park delivering world-class surf experiences for all ages and abilities, and just minutes from Melbourne Airport. URBNSURF is a multi-use precinct, blending sport, retail, hospitality and education. A key architectural feature across the site is the use of converted shipping containers and modular structures, repurposed into highly functional buildings.

The Challenge

  • Converted shipping containers requiring doors that integrate seamlessly into non-traditional structures

  • A need for longevity, reliability and low maintenance over the life of the precinct
